Stigma research is hampered by lack of consensus about the number of dimensions making up the stigma construct and what these dimensions measure. Two studies were conducted testing the dimensionality of stigma. Using 105 items proposed to measure stigma in previous research, the first study (N = 307) conducted an exploratory factor analysis using the maximum likelihood method of factor extraction. Results supported five factors that were designated as labeling, negative attribution, separation, status loss, and controllability. Using these factors, a second study (N = 263) demonstrated support for the goodness of fit of the proposed 5-dimensional stigma model.
污名研究受到缺乏共识的阻碍，无法确定构成污名结构的维度数量以及这些维度衡量什么。进行了两项研究来检验污名的维度。使用之前研究中提出的 105 个项目来衡量污名，第一项研究（N=307）使用最大似然法进行因子提取进行了探索性因子分析。结果支持五个因子，分别指定为标记、负面归因、分离、地位丧失和可控制性。使用这些因子，第二项研究（N=263）证明了所提出的 5 维度污名模型的拟合优度的支持。
